  • First Aid: EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.; SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after washing the affected areas.; INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whene Source: CAMEO Chemicals

  • Environmental Bioconcentration: Diethylenetriamine has a very low estimated log octanol/water partition coefficient, -2.13(1), and, therefore, would not be expected to bioconcentrate in fish(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: If released on land, diethylenetriamine would principally leach into the ground. The only circumstance where biodegradation would be significant is where the microorganisms at the site are well acclimated. Some of the diethylenetriamine may volatilize from the soil surface.

  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: The fate of diethylenetriamine released into water is unknown. Volatilization and adsorption to sediment will not be significant loss mechanisms. Biodegradation would not be expected to be significant unless the microorganisms at the site were well acclimated. (SRC) Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
